I mean I can't explain it any clearer, maybe this will help. Secret, I coach Wrs and Dbs, we use cover 1 a lot
In the single-high (cover 1), the free safety plays zone coverage, guarding the deep half all to himself. He is responsible for any receiver that enters the zone. He must make a play on the ball as it enters the zone. The GIF below demonstrates his assignment.
I get it but I haven't heard a cowboy coach say he was wrong. you cited something but no link. IMHO heath wasn't the problem, the issue was Chido who basically did zero on the play. If they didn't like how heath lined up then they should have corrected it the 1st time, but they didn't. His angle looked worse because he was ready to help the other side. Why didn't they correct this before if it was a problem? oh cause it wasn't untill it was.
